Chapter 16: The Game World II
"You~~~ hmph~~" Ximen Qianlie waved his hand and walked away. This was not just about Lian Yun; he still had his reservations regarding Lian Yun.
Violating the rules of the Eternal Emperor was not as simple as facing death or a near-death experience; it was a cruelty that meant eternal damnation.
He could not be certain that he could instantly kill Lian Yun, but he was sure that punishment would come swiftly. To avoid provoking Lian Yun into making an irrational move, he decided to keep his distance.
The main point was that Lian Yun now had an air of indifference, as if nothing could provoke him. Continuing to sit across from Lian Yun would only lead to unnecessary trouble for himself.
Ultimately, there were also matters he needed to consider, such as how to find Lian Yun quickly, how to establish himself in Yin Yang City, and how to rebuild the Xi Men Family.
Initially, to prevent the bloodline from dying out, the Xi Men Family had sent people to the Demon Realm. Even if they had to serve as slaves, as long as they could reproduce, it was enough. Naturally, the Xi Men Family also sent people to Yin Yang City; however, unlike other places, it was uncertain whether those distant relatives still existed or if they would accept the 'main family' taking over.
Meanwhile, after Ximen Qianlie left, Lian Yun began to reflect on his own situation. He made some necessary plans and set some short-term goals.
Then he resumed his cultivation.
About an hour and a half later, an announcement came over the train's intercom: "We will arrive at Yin Yang City in ten minutes. At that time, Yin Yang City will automatically assess your levels and assign you to a novice village. Please disembark at your designated novice village location. Those who disembark early or late will face penalties from Yin Yang City."
Indeed, regardless of what the Eternal Emperor's true purpose in establishing Yin Yang City was, the essence of his governance had not changed much: it remained brutal.
During his reign, the Eternal Emperor did not hesitate to exhaust resources and harm the people while building Afang Palace and the Great Wall or seeking immortality at any cost.
Now as the Demon Emperor, things were even more severe.
In Asia and Europe, and even in America, there were strict no-fighting zones along both sides of the train tracks leading into Yin Yang City. Even Grandma dared not defy this rule because anyone who violated it would not only suffer but also implicate their entire clan.
Yes, violating the will of the Eternal Emperor would lead to repercussions for one's entire family. It was not merely about being killed; it meant enslavement of one's soul—eternal damnation. This was far more brutal than any form of execution or torture previously known.
Countless souls sought death yet found none. For a moment's peace, they were willing to endure another hundred years of servitude, only to seek rest again within that century. Thus they continued to cycle through suffering without rebirth.
It was a torment more painful than Eighteen Layers of Hell.
This is likely the reason why the Eternal Emperor forbids anyone from spreading news about Yin Yang City. Anyone with a bit of wisdom could figure this out.
So even though Yin Yang City is a gaming city filled with immense opportunities and excitement, it is undoubtedly a place fraught with danger. At any moment, the Eternal Emperor might whimsically decide to destroy the entire Yin Yang City or forcibly enslave everyone—humans and spirits alike—within its borders.
However, Yin Yang City is also a place where, if one dares to take risks, infinite possibilities await. This has attracted numerous Desperados.
To put it simply, the entire Human Alliance has fewer than Three Thousand Monarchs, but in Yin Yang City, there are definitely over ten thousand Monarchs. Although there are distinctions between humans and spirits, even just counting humans, there are at least five thousand. This is merely an estimate from outsiders; the actual number is likely much higher.
Yin Yang City occupies the largest Spiritual Energy Resource on Earth—the vast ocean.
If we consider Earth's history, from ancient times to the present, and account for all living beings over billions of years, the combined souls of all creatures would have long since burst forth from Earth. If that were true, there would be no place for humanity to exist on this planet.
In reality, however, many souls on the ground have been washed into the ocean by rainwater. The ocean only evaporates and does not flow back, resulting in an ever-increasing amount of Soul Power within it.
Under normal circumstances, the Soul Power in the ocean is too chaotic for either humans or the Demon Clan to utilize. However, within Yin Yang City under the Eternal Emperor's control, the Earth Formation can harness it.
First, through a grand formation, Soul Power can be randomly combined to create Chaos Beasts of varying strengths. Then humans or Spirits can hunt these Chaos Beasts to disperse their Soul Power once more. Afterward, through the Earth Formation, the deceased Chaos Beasts are decomposed into different levels of Spirit Coins that can be directly absorbed by both humans and spirits.
Although it is unclear why the Earth Formation does not directly refine the chaotic Soul Power from the ocean into pure spiritual energy, one undeniable fact remains: this makes Yin Yang City remarkably similar to a gaming world.
For instance, when a monster is slain, its corpse vanishes instantly, leaving behind coins and some materials.
With nearly endless resources of Soul Power at its disposal, Yin Yang City boasts not only numerous Monarchs but also countless Demigod Experts. This is one reason why even the Demon Clan dares not invade Yin Yang City.
Soon enough, ten minutes passed, and Lian Yun heard a voice that was neither male nor female, neither old nor young—mechanical yet devoid of emotion—like a cold gaze that viewed all things as mere dogs. Although it was just a voice, Lian Yun felt as if he were looking at a list.
Name: Lian Yun
Level: Level 31 (determined based on current realm)
Money: None
Honor: None
Storage: One cubic meter.
Such a simple attribute, yet it reveals a piece of information about one of the characteristics of Yin Yang City.
Yin Yang City distinguishes the boundaries between realms in greater detail.
For instance, there were ten levels before reaching the King rank, and there are thirty levels between the King and the Peak of Kings. However, how many levels exist between the Monarch and the Peak of Sovereignty remains unknown.
Another point is that the attributes of wealth and honor may seem straightforward, but they play a significant role, particularly regarding rankings in certain areas.
According to the promotions from Yin Yang City, your personal wealth and honor can earn you corresponding ranks in specific locations, presenting a tremendous opportunity for special rewards either regularly or after certain intervals.
However, to ensure fairness, these rankings are typically based on increases within a time frame rather than fixed or total assets.
If this were not the case, those who arrived early at Yin Yang City and established powerful factions or massive industries would undoubtedly dominate the Ranking List, leaving newcomers with no chance whatsoever.
Finally, the so-called warehouse is also quite special according to Yin Yang City's promotional materials.
